The second installment in the all-new series from the masterful, #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater!

Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after...

Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole and faced the
bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the guy she loves, and escaped the
machinations of the disturbingly seductive Morpheus and the vindictive Queen
Red. Now all she has to do is graduate high school and make it through prom so
she can attend the prestigious art school in London she's always dreamed of.

That would be easier without her mother, freshly released
from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much
simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt
her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland—where she
(partly) belongs.

As prom and graduation creep closer, Alyssa juggles Morpheus’s unsettling
presence in her real world with trying to tell Jeb the truth about a past he’s
forgotten. Glimpses of Wonderland start to bleed through her art and into her
world in very disturbing ways, and Morpheus warns that Queen Red won’t be far
behind.

If Alyssa stays in the human realm, she could endanger Jeb, her parents, and
everyone she loves. But if she steps through the rabbit hole again, she'll face
a deadly battle that could cost more than just her head.

Free from bonds, but not each
otherIt’s time to choose sides… On the surface, Sorry-in-the-Vale is a sleepy
English town. But Kami Glass knows the truth. Sorry-in-the-Vale is full of
magic. In the old days, the Lynburn family ruled with fear, terrifying the
people into submission in order to kill for blood and power. Now the Lynburns
are back, and Rob Lynburn is gathering sorcerers so that the town can return to
the old ways.

But Rob and his followers aren’t the only sorcerers in town. A decision must be
made: pay the blood sacrifice, or fight. For Kami, this means more than just
choosing between good and evil. With her link to Jared Lynburn severed, she’s
now free to love anyone she chooses. But who should that be?
